What can I say? When this place was Herb's on Lake, it was an Avon Lake institution. I can't say so much for Jakes.
The food is just ok. I ordered salmon, which was fine, but it came with frozen veggies, which are not ok. Even a hole-in-the wall, should have fresh veggies. My relatives had sandwiches and french fries and the fries looked fresh at least.
Service was fine -- it wasn't busy. The bartender changed the channel so that I could watch the OSU game. Outdoor seating is available during nice weather.
Prices are average. I think my salmon dinner was around $12. Would I go back? Yes, but I would not order anything with vegetables.
